You have NO IDEA !!!!!!!!!
Ha, I should buy this thing just as a carrot to get you to do a round trip...sooner than later
Landcruiser909 wanna do a road trip?
I know southboston already bought it but we could go and pick it up from him.
We could take my rig this time and Mudship things along the way to pay for fuel and stay in Mudders houses and fix thier rigs in exchange for food.

just curious does it have power steering or Aircond.
If so I will buy that from you.

Yup, Alex locked it up! But, if you guys ever decided to run north east, be sure to post up in the Yankee forum a few months early...this would give guys time to buy a rust free south west cruiser, and get in line for you all to haul them up here...mud shipping could be fun!

I found out some history...
The guy who owned it is a mechanic in Vermont. He wanted it from the first day he saw it in the Toyota showroom in 1965. Someone else in the small town bought it and every time he saw it drive by he got upset. In 67' it got traded in and he bought. Being a mechanic, he took very good care of the drive train and it runs very well. He told me I could drive it back to Boston if I wanted to. I plan on getting a trailer and bringing back next week. After hearing the history, I think I'll keep it and bring it back to life with Pakistani sheetmetal. Can someone show me how to weld?

Depending on the frame. That might be a good candidate for a Aqual tub.
I am working on the bed on my crossover rig. I don't wish body work on anybody.

Let the restoration begin....
Just kidding, actually thats the best part, or at least that is what I keep telling myself.
Cheers,

I'm sure we'll be talking about some bed panels.
My self imposed deadline is about ten days from now to finish a complete bed reproduction. Then you can decide if you like any of my stuff from the photos. I'd love to help revive another cruzah.
nice alex!!!
I really need that tailgate. I just bought a 67 LWB and the only thing missing is the tailgate. Did you get it and will you part with the gate? Nice find!!
